Come Over for a Glass of Bubbles!

I just thought you might like to come over for a glass of bubbles.... it is Sunday night here in Queensland, Australia and it has been a busy, hectic week with sick children... deadlines, housework, business and you all know the drill because we do it every day. I have been head deep in book-keeping for my husband's surgical practice which I kind of like because I am a control freak and perfectionist but then it goes against my creative, I am an interior designer aesthetic. I am torn and always have been in finding my place in the world and sometimes I really struggle. I trained as a nurse which I am sure you all remember my bed-making post! I loved being a registered nurse in that it made me appreciate life so much and I loved theatre, emergency all of it... it is where Andrew and I met. Now, though I live in a town where although I do have interior design work, it is not constant as it is not a metropolitan area. So I have many caps as we all do ...... so come on over for a glass of champagne as I would really love to meet you all and find friends in faraway places who sometimes think I just want to sit with a friend and chat and sip some French bubbles or some Napa Valley or Western Australian chardonnay and say .... life isn't perfect but we are loving it anyway and we are grateful for what we have! I would so love to meet you all........

I would love to come over for some bubbles and company! I'll bring the sweets!

To answer your question on my blog: I upload my pictures to Flickr.com and you can edit them there. You can also open your pictures in Paint (Microsoft) and write something on them.

The ice bucket (yes I know no one says bucket anymore except for me) with the two bottles of champagne is lovely. Your blog is so relaxing to read and of course very beautiful.

I've been busy with the end of the school year and have not had time to keep up with your blog, but I look forward to catching up with all that I missed over the past 4 weeks.

What a lovely post...I so know what you mean about finding your place in the world, I thought I'd be all sorted by the time I get to my age, but it just seems to get more and more confusing. So I'd love to come over for a glass of bubbles and talk it all over for hours ;-) Thanks also for your lovely comment on my post today, isn't it funny how we can so much relate to each other's latest posts... Lots of Love from London, Carole x

Such a generous invitation - and I so agree, life is not perfect, but who wants a perfect life? I think a cheerful, happy life is what I prefer. Since I am unable to join you in person for a glass of bubbly; I am joining you in spirit - here - I'm raising my glass to you. XX
